- Don't try and do everything yourself. Assign everybody one task (i.e. put up signs, handle money, walk around, take goods to a donation center, etc.). These tasks seemed simple but if you try and do all of them by yourself you get overwhelmed very quickly.
- Using a spreadsheet with a multi-family yard sale is crucial. I made one that added up totals after each customer and balanced itself (give me a break I'm a teller, for crying out loud). This made it so easy to see instantly how much each person had made.
- Putting ads on KSL and Craigslist brings in the people. I put a map on each website and I also created an event on facebook.
This was a great way to clean out the house, get some extra cash, and let someone turn your junk into treasures.
